MIXING ALLOWED - fully immunized people may
pair their boosters with doses from different man-
ufacturers after research from the National Insti-
tutes of Health showed it was safe and effective
to mix and match vaccines.

~~~

Pfizer - vaccine recipients who received both shots
at least six months ago

1st booster approval for 65 & over + others on
September 24. Those eligible for a booster now
expanded to include all of the following:

o Anyone 65 and older.

o All adults age 18 to 64 who have cancer,
dementia, any of the 7 Disparate High Glucose
Conditions (old confusing name diabetes used),
heart disease, HIV and other medical conditions
that increase likelihood of Covid complications.

o Anyone 18 or older who live or work in a long-
term care facility, homeless shelter and prison
or other congregate setting.

o Front-line personnel 18 or older who are at a
higher risk of Covid exposure due to their job,
including first responders, teachers, super-
market staff and mass transit employees.

~~~

Moderna - vaccine recipients who received both
shots at least six months ago:

o Anyone 65 and older.

o All adults age 18 to 64 who have cancer, dementia,
any of the 7 Disparate High Glucose Conditions (old
confusing name diabetes used), heart disease, HIV
and other medical conditions that increase likelihood
of Covid complications.

o Anyone 18 or older who live or work in a long-term
care facility, homeless shelter and prison or other
congregate setting.

o Front-line personnel 18 or older who are at a higher
risk of Covid exposure due to their job, including first
responders, teachers, supermarket staff and mass
transit employees.

~~~

Johnson & Johnson - all adults who were vaccinated
with J&J’s Covid vaccine at least two months ago,
instead of six months with Pfizer and Moderna.

o All adult J&J recipients are eligible for a booster
even if they don’t have underlying medical condi-
tions or work in a profession or live where there’s
a higher risk of Covid.

MIXING ALLOWED, the following seems to indi-
cate that mixing may be advantageous:
https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2021/mixing-matching-covid-vaccines.html

"People who had the one-shot J&J vaccine and
were boosted with the same brand saw a four-
fold increase in antibody levels within 15 days,
researchers found.

A boost for J&J recipients from the Moderna
product, however, caused antibody levels to rise
76-fold, and a shot of Pfizer’s vaccine increased
antibody levels by about 35-fold, according to the
study, which has not been peer reviewed but was
presented to a panel of FDA advisers on Oct. 15.

Meanwhile, people who received an mRNA vac-
cine (Pfizer or Moderna) the first time around
and were boosted with another mRNA product
of the opposite brand saw similar spikes in anti-
body levels after the booster."

So, appears there is advantage in getting one's
booster vaccination from the other mRNA vac-
cine if one's first vaccinations were from Pfizer
or Moderna.

Also, it appears there is advantage in getting
one's booster vaccination from either mRNA
vaccine if one's initial vaccination was from
Johnson & Johnson.

Follow-up:

My 2 shots of Moderna Covid-19 vaccines
occurred February 26 & March 26 2021.
Today, based on the AARP article in my
prior post in this thread, I chose to get a
Pfizer Covid-19 booster vaccination, just
1 day short of 7 months after my second
Moderna 'full' vaccination.

I had to put on a form my choosing to get
a Pfizer booster rather than a Moderna
booster, so keep that in mind that if you
switch your booster choice, you have to
put that on a form (at least I did in getting
the booster at a local Walmart pharmacy).

Key quotes in the article that led me to get
the other mRNA booster:
https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2021/mixing-matching-covid-vaccines.html

"... Preliminary results from a National Insti-
tutes of Health (NIH) study show that get-
ting a booster shot that’s different from the
initial vaccine bolsters antibody levels ...

... Health officials have not offered any guid-
ance on which combination provides the best
protection, but the CDC is expected to clarify
mixing-and-matching advice soon. ..."

Comment: So, in essence, it's just a guess as
to whether or not getting a full dose Pfizer
booster vaccination is better than a half-dose
Moderna vaccination or about the same & the
possibility exists that getting a J & J booster
might be better for those who got either mRNA
vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna).

Odd that even after worldwide mixing & match-
ing so little is known about that, but I suppose
the U.S. (and perhaps Israel) are on the cutting
edge of a 3rd booster shot so that's why maybe
the CDC will clarify mixing-and-matching "soon",
per the article above.
